Donna, love to lurk at these posts of your, trying to find me something new :) I am lurking at my mailbox to see if The Lost Symbol will grace it. Not that I am not previously occupied but I want to have it so I can start it when ever I want, which will be ASAP. A Dan Brown book has not dissapointed me and I have read every single one of them. let's hope with the extra time he spent on this book that it will be worth the readers time!

Leontine, I was thinking of trying this one. I read DaVinchi Code and loved it but I DNF on Demons & Angels. My dad loves Dan Brown, so it gives a book or two we can talk about together.

Same here Mandi. Sep. 29th is going to be massive and put a dent in my wallet. ;)

Doug I did too! I love coming across posts like that.

Patti, you're welcome!

Carolyn, you'll find a lot of variety over at Eclectic/Undercover Book Lover. She used to have two blogs but decided to combine them to save time on admin-ing two blogs. Jacqueline has something over there for most anyone.
